STUDENTS 3590

Data Access, Security and Confidentiality

Purpose:

This policy provides for security and confidentiality ensuring all student data, including student identifiers, records,

and class materials will be maintained in compliance with Federal and State law and State Board rule governing the

confidentiality of student information.

Security and Confidentiality:

The system will be structured to provide real‐time, appropriate access to educational data. The district will

develop procedures to further define appropriate access and use of student data inter and intra‐district.

Subject to Board approval, the Superintendent will:

•  Create a process to authenticate requests for access to the district system from parents, educators, and

government agencies which comport to state and federal laws and regulations.

•  Create the secure transfer of data within the district education information management system.

Approve changes to the definition of appropriate access and procedures; however, such changes are

subject to board ratification at the next scheduled board meeting.
